Look inside a finished book

A real Inkling book, start to finish in about seven minutes.

This is Zoe’s Fifth Birthday Bake, a 24-page picture book. Here is everything that went in:

Name: Zoe · Age: 5 · Occasion: Birthday
Idea: “She loves cats and baking cupcakes.”

Inkling wrote the rhyming story, gave her a kitten called Mittens, and drew Zoe, Mom and Dad the same way on every page. No photo was added; with one, the pictures look like your child.
